I beg to differ:
If Muslims need to rely on non-believers to strengthen their belief in
Muhammad Rasullullah, if they are amazed and excited about non-believers
who have high regard of Muhammad Rasullullah, then by all means, there
is something really wrong with their faith in Islam. Pls muhasabah.
As for myself, I am not impressed at all with their statements about
Muhammad Rasullullah. No matter how lofty the statements are, inside the
heart, these types of people do not really believe in what they say.
Otherwise they would be Muslims.
To me phrases as follows will mislead Muslims in the long run:
1. Prophet of Arabia
2. Mighty Prophet.
3. Mighty Arabian teacher.
4. World's most influential person
5. Supremely successful on both the religious and secular level.
All the 5 statements above grossly understate Muhammad as a person. The
right statement about Muhammad is:
Muhammad Rasullullah. i.e Muhammad the last messenger of Allah.
If we critically assess all these statements we are going to see a
world of difference between them.

Muhammad in Their Eyes: Dr Annie Besant,Michael H. Hart,
"It is impossible for anyone who studies the life and character of the
great Prophet of Arabia, who knows how he taught and how he lived, to
feel anything but reverence for that mighty Prophet, one of the great
messengers of the Supreme. And although in what I put to you I shall say
many things which may be familiar to many, yet I myself feel whenever I
re-read them, a new way of admiration, a new sense of reverence for that
mighty Arabian teacher."

Michael H. Hart says:
"My choice of Muhammad to lead the list of the world's most influential
persons may surprise some readers and may be questioned by others, but
he was the only man in history who was supremely successful on both the
religious and secular level."
